Books by the Sea, which has operated in Osterville Village, Mass., for nearly a decade, is relocating February 1 to Centerville's Bell Tower Mall on Route 28. The Barnstable Patriot reported that the new location will "provide personalized service and local interest specialties to a wider region of Mid-Cape readers.... This unique store has become an important part of the Cape Cod community and will now be able to provide wider public exposure for its many authors and artists through frequent signings, readings and lectures."
"Easy access to great books is our goal," said owner Tom Phillips. "Our new location will give readers a more convenient way to drop in, get advice and recommendations from our well-read and trained staff, learn about new books from both beloved and emerging authors, and find just the right book for their needs."
